Dyke Ridge Run - surprisingly good day compared to what I expected. There was about 1.5 hours where it was moderately thermic and out and return was possible along the ridge. I was pleased to see quite a few people go for it with varying degrees of success and a few I expect with a longish walk back. Fron't of take off was incredibly crowded and as usual airmanship was not up to everyone's expectation.

The connection between the V-lines and the reserve on all EASINESS and EASINESS 2 reversible harnesses must be changed at the next opportunity. A replacement connection line can be obtained from ADVANCE free of charge.

Please can everyone check to make sure that you have renewed your 2017/2018 SHG Club membership, particularly if you do not have a standing order in place. There are currently 128 'members' who have not renewed in this current membership year. Whilst I know that some will have consciously decided not to renew, others may simply have forgotten (there are some 'seasoned' names on this list). Renewing your membership is simple and straightforward if you follow the steps and links on the SHGC website.
